Real Estate Investing

[Lamar Davis]

Hi, I'm new to this platform.  I'm looking to grow my investment property portfolio.  Any seasoned investors in the DMV area looking to show me the ropes and potentially partner on some deals?

Hey Lamar, 

Welcome!.. I have found it is going to be difficult to just find someone to volunteer to spend their time to guide and mentor you without figuring out first what you can provide for them or how you can provide value.  I would suggest figuring out what traits you excel in or have, and apply those strengths to aspects of real estate, find a niche or a task that you can excel in and bring to a relationship.   If you have capital there are plenty of people who would love to partner on deals with you the question becomes what are you getting or giving to and from the deal.  If you have a deal there are plenty of people who are willing to put up capital etc.  If this becomes your circumstance and you find someone you want to learn from maybe bring them a deal, and seek minimal return for the opportunity to gain experience. I am not familiar with DMV area, nor am I looking to take your money but I am more then happy to answer any questions you may have, and share my experiences.  

In my experience is the best mentor, and source of knowledge I have ever gotten has been from books.  Used books on ebay and amazon, have turned out to be the best investment I ever made.
